Outrage after South Carolina officer throws, arrests student in classroom

(CNN)The video shows a South Carolina school resource officer standing over a student, seated at her desk. He puts his arm near her neck, then yanks her backward. The desk tips over and the student crashes onto the floor.

The uniformed officer doesn't let go, sharply tugging the student toward the front of the classroom. She flies out of her desk and slides several feet across the floor.

"Give me your hands," the officer says.

His is the only voice heard. Other students sit calmly and quietly, one of them covering his face with his hand.

Yet many haven't been so quiet since the footage out of Columbia, South Carolina, surfaced.

Some have defended the officer, many pointing out that the video isn't complete. It doesn't show what happened before, including what the student did and how many times authorities -- a teacher, a school administrator and finally the officer, Richland County Sheriff's Deputy Ben Fields -- had asked her to get up.

Some have defended the officer, many pointing out that the video isn’t complete. It doesn’t show what happened before, including what the student did and how many times authorities — a teacher, a school administrator and finally the officer, Richland County Sheriff’s Deputy Ben Fields — had asked her to get up.

...

Videos usually don’t tell the complete story.

Her (2nd girl) mother, Doris Kenny, said she's proud her daughter was "brave enough to speak out against what was going on."

I can confirm that neither the videos nor the DBM's stories accurately portray what really happened.

The girl had been asked to put away her cell phone and when she didn’t authorities were called in from the principal to the police officer. Then she refused still. With the excuse of “I didn’t hurt anyone you can’t do this to me”. “Cops are supposed to help, not hurt, people”. They are learning at a young age to defy authority and it disgusts me. Nothing wrong with defying authority when you are right, but when you are clearly wrong, it is not acceptable. There will be no law and order pretty soon. I always thought if I were a teacher I would confiscate ALL cell phones until the end of class, but I guess I wouldn’t be allowed to after all.

Also the news media playing the news. They are more than willing to stir up trouble, rather than report the facts.

Look up Tommy Sotomayor on Youtube. He’ll tell you all about it.

Yes, they’re learning at an early age to defy authority. Check out this video titled “The Cop and the Crazy Girl.”

Sounds like students learned something in class for a change: Comply - Don't Die

Better than out on the street.

This future Welfare Brood Mare just got her first lesson about respecting authority.

When the faculty realized the student was a near saint and black, they notified the SO to send a white cop to kick her ass. This poor child will be traumatized forever./s

Big Media lies. All the time. About everything.

The 0bama Regime lies. All the time. About everything.

Number one Enemy currently facing the US. Our Army should be raiding Media offices, not foreign countries.

The clip on the "news" looks edited and certainly doesn't show or indicate why the officer was even called to the classroom. Of course if he's expecting a fair hearing, or due process, he's SOL.

The person who filled that girl’s head with that stuff needs to be picked up and placee in jail in the cell right next to hers.

She is undeniably a big idiot. Someone filled her head with nonsense.

If she wishes to make those claims, she can do it later on. She didn’t have to be arrested to do it.

She is a sadly misinformed young woman.

Details of this incident aren’t relevant beyond the fact that the student was black and the deputy was white.

I have noticed that schools with large numbers of feral Amish students do not have mass shootings. I assume that is because those types of schools are not gun free zones. Those types of school have school police, probably armed, on campus. I wonder what else is going on at that school.
